Repurposing SGLT2 inhibitors for autoimmune diseases? YES, WE MAY!

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

T cells play a key role in driving autoimmunity, with alterations in metabolism powering their effector function. In the July 11 issue of Cell Metabolism, Jenkins et al. 1 describe how a type 2 diabetes drug, canagliflozin, can be repurposed for the treatment of autoimmune disorders through metabolic reprogramming of the T cell response.
